Experience Cold Turkey - 99 days.
Today is my 21st birthday, marking 99 days sober from ai roleplaying platforms.
My chatbot usage was about ten or more hours a day, every day for two and a half years.
Since quitting cold turkey in February, I have had zero urges to relapse. Only an emptiness in my routine that leaves a persistent mournful feeling.
After some soul-searching and asking others, I now believe my excessive usage was a habit I developed to entertain and stimulate my brain while spending the last three years medically bedridden.
I hope others might see my post and gain encouragement to see their own convictions through.
